Holy Redeemer Hospital – Montgomery County – Tobacco Settlement Payment Data for the Year 2026

Holy Redeemer Hospital is participating in the Tobacco Settlement Program under which the Department of Human Services (DHS) provides payments for uncompensated care services. Eligibility is determined using either uncompensated care or extraordinary expense approaches. Holy Redeemer submitted claims and data for assessment. For the fiscal year ended June 30, 2024, eight extraordinary expense claims were reviewed, and five qualified for subsidies. Inpatient and Medical Assistance (MA) days data for the fiscal year ended June 30, 2023, were also reviewed. Necessary adjustments were identified, and facilities like Holy Redeemer must ensure data accuracy for eligibility consideration during self-verification. Failure to revise inaccurate records could affect payment eligibility. DHS will use verified data to calculate subsidy entitlements, allowing eligible facilities to choose their preferred calculation method. Additional clarifications or claims must be submitted by October 31, 2025, with the report publicly available for review and inquiries directed to the Auditor General’s department.
